Seriously, the E63 is a much better choice than the G55.

Does anyone ever add a 2 after the dealer's initials?

Cacator posted:It stands out only because the rest of the interior is so well put together IMO. However I've been in a CLA a few times so I'm a bit more used to it, but the larger screen you get with the nav package is much nicer than the standard 7 inch screen.

mod sassinator posted:I dunno that screen is ridiculous IMHO. How bright is it at night, can you see anything else in the cabin? If it were a fancy OLED that didn't have any backlight bleed through it might be decent but I'm worried it would just destroy your night vision. All that said it still looks like an iPad stuck to the dash although it doesn't look as bad from the driver's seat.

I notice more and more manufacturers are doing that. I think it's their solution to making a bigger display without making the dashboard higher or placing the screen down lower.

They've been doing that since 2004 with the CLS Coupe.

I remember reading an article about a guy who fixed the ABC suspension on a used S600 with parts from Home Depot in his apartment parking lot. He had to replace a bunch of hoses, fittings, and clamps because the factory ones were all leaking.

Tai-Pan posted:I like the S-Class. I just don't understand the mentality of tacking on an additional $90,000 for a feature that will be used once (speed) and then will spend the rest of its life in traffic. Same thing with people who buy high performance cars and never track or race them.

Supposedly BMW will be introducing illuminated grilles as an option.

I think it’s a dealer installer option.

I know a guy from Vancouver who runs a business leasing exotics to Chinese kids. He buys the car, has them give a 30% down payment, a $60,000 security deposit, and then charges a 15% lease rate. He said they usually swap out the cars after 6-8 months. He’s from China himself so he says he’s able to verify that they are who they say they are and have the money. He said late payments aren’t a problem as he just has to threaten to post on his website and various local Chinese social media sites that they missed a payment because they don’t have the money and are actually poor. He has a whole team that dedicated to making sure their insurance is up to date, licenses are renewed, traffic tickets are paid, etc.

I said it in the other thread, but I always liked how the *65 AMG vehicles have slightly different exhaust tips compared to the rest of the AMG line.

Shrapnig posted:AMG is doing a full revamp of the brand in 2021/for model year 2021 so I'm going to put my AMG GT dream on hold for a year. AWD is definitely going to be a thing and they're also talking about hybrid engines. Murgos posted:Any details? I’m shopping now so if I should wait 8 months... The rumor about the C63 getting a hybrid 4 cylinder seems to have been a case of broken telephone. The current V8 is based on the M133 4 cylinder. AMG is developing a new V8 based on the M139 4 cylinder. The C63 will be the first, or one of the first, cars to get this new engine and it's going to be equipped with the *53 hybrid system and an electric compressor. The AMG GT R Black series will also most likely be using the same new engine.

From what understand, unlike most other remote starters where you have to put your foot in the brake and push that start button after entering the car when it was started remotely, the MB system just turns the car off after you open the door.

They’re loading it up with features too to make up for the lack of the V8 I think. It has rear wheel steering, air suspension, etc. which is also going to drive up the price further.
